A lot of consternation here on CT (and rightly so), but let's look at a positive....I'm talking, of course, about another strong outing from Liberatore!
You know many of us have urged patience the past couple of years with this kid, pointing out that Lefties oftentimes take several years to achieve full command of their repertoire. Remember, Liberatore is still only 25 and really appears to be settling in as a starter. Big, strong, durable, starting lefties are still a huge commodity in MLB. Looks like the Cards may finally have one in ML.
His 24 K's vs 2 BB is especially impressive. So is the way he threw 100 pitches yesterday with seemingly little trouble.
Here is what boggles the mind. Until the end of ST it looked like he would be stuck in the bullpen again. Anyone else think it was Bloom who ordered Oli to get his head out of his arsse and place him in the rotation? I think it's a strong possibility....
Anyway, just a little something to give us Card fans a Glimmer of Hope!
Now on a positive note....

You don't like Libby's performance the past couple of games and you're not impressed by a 24-2 K to BB ratio?

I mean 2 + 2=4 is a fact, but not convinced it needs to be posted in this thread.
